You play pickleball, you go running, you love to train and play with your dogs, you spend time on your bike, which means your legs are doing a lot. So you want to stretch them in a way that supports your joints, not just become "loose". That’s what we’re doing in this new Standing Pose Series. https://www.skool.com/yoga-40-7155/classroom/7cf3e5e3?md=dd74725a18d94b8984c46df975e1d321 Class number one is here, and we’re starting with forward folds. So make some time for it, my friends.It’s just 40-plus minutes, and it will make everything else you do better. I’m not kidding. And a very important side effect:you will likely notice that you feel more grounded and calm afterward, because standing postures help you build a stronger, more integrated foundation to stand on. Enjoy the class. https://www.skool.com/yoga-40-7155/classroom/7cf3e5e3?md=dd74725a18d94b8984c46df975e1d321

A fresh class will be posted at 9 a.m. every Thursday. Standing poses are some of the most accessible postures we can do, but don’t let that fool you, they can also be wonderfully strengthening. They help build strength and stamina, support your joints, and create a stronger foundation through your legs and hips. And when the foundation feels steady, we usually feel steadier inside too. More grounded.More stable.More able to relax. Yay. What’s not to love? These are recorded classes, so if you can’t practice right at 9 a.m., no problem.Your class will be waiting for you.

Remember the last time you felt really happy or joyful? It was probably because life lined up with what your mind wanted in that moment. You got what you wanted. Or you were with someone you wanted to be with. Or something finally went your way. When your mind agrees with your experience, you feel happy. But if we’re honest, most of the time the mind wants something other than what is here. The coffee is good, but not hot enough. The house is finally quiet, but now you get bored. You wanted time alone… and five minutes later you feel lonely and start checking your phone. In this video, I explain how yoga postures can become more than physical exercise. They can help you build the skill of listening to the mind less, redirecting your attention and recognizing the deep peace and lasting contentment that are already here beneath all the mental commentary.

Hey my friends 🐺 Just wanted to keep you in the loop so you know what’s happening on my end. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m currently dealing with some impactful personal circumstances. Because of that, I’m going to keep the entire Yoga Wolf Studio free for now. I’ll be adding one fresh video each week. I’ll also hop in here a couple times a week to check on you guys and share a little from my side when it feels right. And of course, I’ll let you know if anything changes in the future. Until then: keep practicing keep showing upkeep taking good care of yourselves This week’s new class is a Level 1 Handstand Class. https://www.skool.com/yoga-40-7155/classroom/a82e89aa?md=a0a260e7ed79417b8ae7d8a270d06939 I know, I know… not everybody is excited about handstands 😄 But they really are fun once you get the hang of them. And even if handstands are not your big dream, practicing them can be incredibly helpful for your posture, shoulders, neck, and upper body strength. They also build that sweet kind of confidence that comes from doing inversions. So even if you think,“nah, not for me” maybe do it anyway 😉 Off you go, my friends. Love you, Doreen

Hey guys, I want to give you a quick update because I’m currently restructuring the online yoga studio. We now have two tiers: Free Access: If you click on the classroom, you’ll see plenty of classes that are free to use. This includes: - the 14-Day Flow & Hip Challenge we ran before - collection of classes for upper body and shoulders - relaxation postures and recovery practices - 3 Digestive Teas These classes are very accessible for anyone who is just getting started with yoga, but they are also very useful for those of you who already have some experience. Most classes are around 10 to 15 minutes or 10 to 20 minutes long, so they’re easy to fit into daily life. Premium Access: In the premium section, which I’m starting at $9, you’ll find: - longer classes - classes that are a little more challenging - practices that work toward things like arm balances and handstands - two new classes each week At the moment, I won’t be offering live classes. That is simply due to personal reasons. I have some bigger changes happening in my private life right now, and I can’t honestly commit to a fixed live schedule at the moment. Right now, I’m in phase one of building this into a valuable online yoga studio for all of you, so things may still shift a little as I figure out the most helpful structure. Thank you for bearing with me while I build this out. For now, head over to the classroom, have a look at what’s available, and see what feels most useful for you. And as always, if you have questions or suggestions, please let me know. May you have a wonderful day,Doreen
